The West Papuan struggle

DESMOND AIGILO

An entry in the Crocodile Prize
Kina Securities Award for Poetry

Pangs of vanity infest man again
The other half of man’s face is revealed duly.

Murder by blind ambitions;
death shrouded by a false noble cause.

Desire of false liberation; liberty is yours!
The man strives for betterment but life is no different;

Struggles, work and death are eminent.
For what then do the men in the West struggle for?

What then is the price of a flag; a title; independence?
An early death?
